Master List of 120+ Trilogies

The fear from series is REAL. Don't tell me you've never before felt a tad bit overwhelmed by all those long ass, never ending series out there. Don't get me wrong, I love their guts, but sometimes I want something shorter and more manageable. That is precisely when trilogies come in handy. Sure, standalones can offer us a breath of fresh air, as well, but that's a topic for another day. :)

Problem is, I usually have a hard time finding THE trilogy that I'm in the mood for at that exact moment, and when I go on a search for them I end up getting distracted - is it just me who spends hours on the internet sometimes doing absolutely nothing, even though I started browsing for a reason? - and unable to choose. This summer I'm planning on doing lots of reading, so I decided to make a master list of trilogies to help myself and the rest of you, lovely people out.To make the list more manageable, I divided the trilogies by genre. Have fun looking through my list, share with me your thoughts on these novels + tell me if you know any wonderful trilogies that NEED to be on it and I'll make sure to add them. I wanted to make this post a bit more personal, but each and every way I could think of to mark which trilogies I read/loved/disliked made the post look really overwhelming. But you can always check out my Goodreads account if you're interested.Also, click on the covers for GR page.

Wow, this post is incredible. It must have taken such effort to create! I applaud you :) I also quite like trilogies, although lately I must admit I'm more intrigued by the idea of a duology. I've definitely seen some favorites on this list, like LotR and the Malediction trilogy. I also really enjoyed the Jasper Dent trilogy, it was a great YA thriller/mystery read.

Thank you! I've been thinking about making a list of duologies, too, but I don't know that many, so that'd take a lot more effort. I've only read I Hunt Killers, so far, but I can't wait to pick up the other two JD novels!

Oh my ! I haven't read many of those trilogies, although some are on my to-read list! I definitely agree with you, trilogies are so much better than series, that go on and on and become boring!Lovely post :)

I like them, because sometimes, especially with longer series, the readers are not told at the beginning the number of books - with trilogies that's never an issues. And even when the author ends up continuing it, the third book tends to have a closed ending. :)

All the love! I only saw 4 trilogies here that I have finished, and some of them are those that I've read but never finished! It's stressful how I feel obliged to continue a trilogy that I really like. I mean, I have to hunt the book down in book stores, and there goes all the WAITING, and the buying. IT'S HARD :(

THANK YOU. <33 I feel you - the waiting KILLS me every single time. So much so that I'm VERY hesitant to start newly published first books in a series, bc I know that I'll have to wait around two years for the final book.

SO many amazing series!! Seriously though, this must have taken FOREVER *applause*

I read The Immortal Rules a while back and loved it! While it is slightly dark, it's so good.

I actually felt really accomplished when I scrolled down to the Fantasy/Paranormal section and I had read (or at least read one or two of the books) 22/52 :) And 11/24 for dystopias! It's kind of nice to know that I am making headway in my gigantic TBR list :)

This is such a great idea though! I've been thinking about doing a series wrap-up (of all of the series' that I've read) for a while now and this gave me the push to actually do it!

It actually didn't take as long as everyone thinks, but I'm glad it seems helpful. :D

I'm really interested in that trilogy, but I just have the feeling that I won't like it. IDK, why. lol

Wow, that's amazing! I've only read/started 15 from Fantasy and 12 from the Dystopia - but honestly, I doubt I'll finish the ones that I haven't yet. I'm not sure why, but I have a really hard time finishing series, even if they only consists of two books.

Yay, I'd love to see you do that, Laura! I've been thinking about doing sg like that, as I'd already shared about the series I don't think I'll finish. :)

Than you SO much for taking the time to make this post! I'll definitely be bookmarking it and referring back to it when I want a new (completed) series to try out. I'm pleased to say I've read a handful of these, but there are loads that I've never even heard of as well. Best get reading!

I'm glad you like it and find it helpful! :) I tried to add as many less well-known ones as I could find, bc I feel like we're mostly talking about THE SAME super-hyped series all the time. Happy reading. :)

Holy shit. Haha. I am definitely bookmarking this post for future reference! Trilogies are my favorite type of series; 3 books almost always seems perfect to tell the story the author wants. Though, I can imagine they are incredibly difficult to write. Thanks for doing this post, Veronika! It's so helpful. :)
